Have you ever seen those advertisements on bulletin boards or telephone poles, where someone is selling a car, and has 10 strips with phone numbers, for others to rip off, take home, and call? This is an electronic version of that for those who want to play a certain game(s) on VASSAL, Cyberboard, or live on SKYPE, but can't find an opponent.
I'd like to put this list out monthly, just to keep it fresh.
Games are listed alphabetically. If a game is already there, go ahead and add it again.
If you wish to add a game, please include your playing preference: live (please list day/time) or PBEM. To save yourself from spamming, I wouldn't write my e-mail address here. Instead, find your opponent and exchange this information in Geekmails.
If you have a suggestions to improve this list, please put them in the comments section so that I can incorporate them into next month's list.

I'll post this here now, in the hopes of arranging a game to start sometime in late February or early March. This is an old title, so it may take a little longer to catch on.
So, any takers? I love the old fleet games. I can't claim to be an expert on the rules, so I won't teach it, but if you want it to be a learning (or re-learning) game that would be great.

I'd like to get a PBEM game of this going.
I've played it several times solo, have a good knowledge of the rules, and am willing to teach anyone who wants to learn.

FORMAT Mostly PBEM, maybe some vFTF in between
TEACH No, rather learn
EXPERTISE Some scenarios, some battles started
Hi.
I own nearly all of the games in the series, but have a little trouble wrapping my head around some of the rule concepts (even after having fooled around with several games). So I would definitely need a patient opponent, preferably an experienced one, so I can learn quickly... .
I would also be looking for a step by step increase of complexity, starting with a small scenario or two, and working towards a full battle.
As to which battle I am totally open!
As mentioned above I have collected most of the games over the years, but probaly a smaller battle (1 mapper) would be my preference , at least to start with. Hope there are some savvy CWB players out there, the community does not seem to be very active here on BGG....
Thanks,
Daniel

Format: Cyberboard/PBEM
Teach? Happy to do so
Expertise: Played many times
-
-
 -
Format: Vassal/PbEM
Teach: No (I'm new to the OCS system and still learning myself)
Expertise: 2 solo games of Tunisia (Race to Tunis and the Campaign) and I started a Korea solo campaign as well.
I think it could really be a great way to improve/discover better the OCS system to play with a real opponent. I should be able to play approximately 2 turns/week, (real time with the OCS system ) but a slower pace is not a problem.

Format: VASSAL/PBEM.
Teach? No. See note.
Expertise: I've played 6 games so far.
Note: I want to play this on VASSAL/PBEM against an experienced player who knows how to play the Americans. After 6 games, my buddy and I could not figure out how to get the Americans out of the metagame in order to win the game. I was convinced the game is imbalanced in favor of the Jihadists, but have since been told that the opposite is true, so I would like to see if I am the greatest Jihad player in history (doubtful) or if I completely missed the boat on playing the Americans (probable).

FORMAT: PBEM VASSAL mainly
TEACH: No
EXPERTISE: Two games, both "lost" around turn 8
Hi there.
I am looking for a slow-paced PBEM game or two.
Mostly PBEM, maybe interspersed with an occasional vFTF meeting if feasible and convenient.
I would like to play the Germans, BTW, if that is fine with any takers.

Format: Vassal PBEM
Teach: No, see notes
Expertise: I have read the rules and played one solo learning game. I am certain I got a number of rules wrong in that play. I am now reading through the rules again.
Notes: I am willing to stumble through a game with someone of similar experience as long as that person has patience. Of course this means I will be forgiving of rules mistakes as well.
(edit: many typos)

Teach? Oh no, rather looking for a teacher. This will be my first step into PBEM-wargamedom. I toyed with the VASSAL module, but will probably have questions regarding what to log and communicate.
Expertise: Early steps solo, but I promise not to be grumpy even though I'll get my ass handed to me...

Format: VASSAL/ Preferable PBEM.
Teach? No. I still have to read the rules and probably watch the tutorial on vassal.
Expertise: Some experience with wargames in general, but never played a CDG(Thats also one of the main motivations).
Very interested on this one. WWII is a plus, North Africa campaign is another, implements a system as other well known monsters such as PoG, and I liked what I read about it in reviews and geekbuddy opinions.
